I read again the man page "mq_overview" and found that the message queue descriptor could be used with select/poll! That's a point I have not realized so far. Thus, this allows to use this as another promising approach! BTW: When I use select() for the timeouts and mq_receive (instead of mq_timedreceive), I hope to find no accuaracy issue... I think select() is using high accuracy with the timeout in -rt.
